Our work strives to understand how the brain creates complex behavior. To achieve that goal, in part, we develop tools for the measurement of behavior and make sure that they are broadly accessible to the community. Secondly, we make models and theories to elucidate how the brain gives rise to adaptive behaviors with a specific focus on motor control and sensorimotor learning. Measuring behavior is key for assessing and constraining these models.
Bio: Diplom in Mathematics and PhD with Prof. Andreas Herz (Ludwig-Maximilians-University Munich) | Postdoc with Prof. Venkatesh N. Murthy (Harvard University) and Prof. Matthias Bethge (Tuebingen AI).
